Yeah, like if you want to be able to watch videos through Createblog, set up a createblog premium for a price. Altho you GOTTA give ppl the option to stay non-premium and kepp going for free.

Why would cB want to use up so much unwanted and unnecessary space to store videos that people can watch on their own? Google is already coming up with that sort of thing.

This isn't a very good idea, IMHO. It started out and remains a free service. If we were to start charging for unnecessary extras...no way. Besides, there are free video hosting sites online so why would we need to do this anyway? Also, not many people make their own videos, so yeah. It'd be pretty pointless.

i think a createblog premium package would be cool though, just not necessarily what you said...like premium members can have pink links for their names or some sort of special feature that they can use that regular members dont already have. also it would be a part donation/part premium thing if you catch my drift

QUOTE(aZn_KyOoTi3_x3 @ May 12 2005, 4:45 PM) yes, i definately agree with her. I mean, we're a free service, why should we change it?? it's not like we're offering things that need to be bought and such. and like others have mentioned it'll be a waste of space... I second that. Both you you took the words right out of my mouth. |

Doesn't CB already have something like that? What would you call being an official member?

And making premium things will just not be fair.

And making premium things will just not be fair. Her idea was basically that of being a donator and getting some sort of recognition through her efforts to support CB. just to reiterate her idea: I donate $5 to CB through paypal (or whatever.) In turn CB then creates some sort of visual recognition be it a pink username or group: donater (which would have the same capabilities as an official member..) With that being said, it's not really that much of a "stupid" idea. Even if it were to be a premium option, it's not saying that all members have to pay. It's just giving a member the option to pay some kind of annual/monthly rate to receive special privelages that free members don't have access to. It's definitely fair; You pay/"donate" you get more. I know of a few design sites that provide layouts/icons/graphics have some available for free, but they offer more if you pay a 6 month fee so you can gain access to more stuff. |

I think this CB premium idea is very much similar to official members now, except that official members do not need to pay.
I'm not into this idea. |

In a sense, being a premium member would be far better then having official member status. Being an official member should stay the say, but with being a premium a little more... options (not that there are many..) and privelages, per se.

We are NOT a few design sites, we are CREATEBLOG: free xanga/blogging resources. Just drop the idea, it's getting annoying. |

The whole purpose of createBlog was to create a free, fun community, and provide free blogging tools and skins. Making people pay isn't supporting the idea. >>;

There's no need to be rude about it. That was an example I showed; I did not state that createblog was a design site. Who cares if people have that idea, it's their opinion, get over it. |

why are you guys so worried that what createblog already offers for free is going to start costing money?...i dont believe any one said that...createblog will still be the same and offer the same services you get today for free. I'm just saying, for people who donate they should get some recognition like what jordanriane said...wow every one flips out at the word "premium" rofl
